Illinois recently legalized recreational marijuana (the purchase of marijuana even without a medical prescription) for individuals age 21 and older. Concerned that recently legalized recreational marijuana for adults may increase the rate of (still illegal) use among teens, however, the state of Illinois enacts a law banning recreational marijuana businesses from advertising within two miles of a school. The ban includes billboard ads as well as moving ads such as city buses, rented advertising trucks, etc. Hoppin Good Times Store, which sells marijuana in six Illinois cities, sues the state of Illinois, alleging the new law violates the U.S. Constitution. Total word count (not including name or other headings) must be between 300 – 500 words, and all answers must be in complete sentences, and in paragraph form (no lists or bullet points).1. (RULES): What test will the court apply to determine if this statute is constitutional? Identify and explain each part of the test.2. (APPLICATION and CONCLUSION): You are the judge. Apply each part of the test you identified in question 1 and arrive at a conclusion (supported by case law) as to whether this law is constitutional or unconstitutional. In your answer, you must include case law support. Remember from our work early in the semester that legal decisions must be supported by precedent. Thus, you must identify a relevant case (by full name) from Chapter 4 that we discussed in class that would be binding on this court in this case. Once you have identified the case, your answer must show how the facts and holding (not the outcome, but the rule of law the court created) supports your conclusion/holding as to whether this law is constitutional. Note: the outcome of the other case may be different from the outcome you reach in this case. If so, explain why.
